Registration for the 2026-27 winter maintenance program will open in three phases:
1st: club swimmers in the 2026 summer program;
2nd: club swimmers in the 2025 winter program;
3rd: general public, if space is available. The registration link here will go live 10am on September 5th.
Please note that due to limited pool availability, mainly because of multiple facilities undergoing renovations/construction, the winter maintenance program will likely take place primarily outdoors at Kensington Pool in Burnaby. Our club has successfully used this facility in past winters; the pool is heated, and the deck is partially covered and heated. Swim practices will be held on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and we expect the schedule to be released in mid-September, with sessions starting in October.
New swimmers:
All new swimmers must have their birthdate verified as per BCSSA requirements. This may include but is not limited to birth certificate or passport.
For the Winter Maintenance Program, the minimum swimming requirements are:
Ages 6–7: Must be able to comfortably swim 25 metres unassisted, without a coach in the water or the use of a flotation device.

Ages 12 and older: Must be able to comfortably swim 100 metres unassisted, without a coach in the water or the use of a flotation device.
The first week of practice, all new swimmers will be assessed and those who are unable to swim the minimum required distance unassisted will be withdrawn and refunded, minus the non-refundable processing fee and admin fee, in accordance with the cancellation policy below.
